My Life Line
Below you can see 10 significant events that have taken place in my life. From the day I was born, to present day. Not all my events have been listed but these are what I feel the most important ones are.
Birth
I was born on November 4th 2000 in Gujarat, India
First Time Zip Lining
The first time I went zip lining was in Mont Tremblant in 2014 and that was because my friends and family pretty much forced me to so I could get over my fear of heights which I did. There were a total of 5 zip lines which went from the top of the mountain which was over 2800 feet high all the way to the base of the mountain.
Reveling In a Book
One of my most favorite books of all time is a book called Brain Jack, by Brian Falkner. It is one of the first books I've read outside of school for my own pleasure and really enjoyed it, so much so that it was hard for me to put down. The book was about a computer virus was talking over the world by getting into peoples head using a headset which communicated with your brain.
First Time Skiing
The first time I went skiing was in grade 6 as a school trip. We went to Hockley valley. I went once a week for 5 weeks and learned a lot about skiing and had a lot of fun with my friends. At first it was challenging and a little scary, after I did some training courses I was ready to move onto the main mountain which was exhilarating and very fun.
First Day of School
My first day of school was on September 6th 2004, my first day of kindergarten, I attended Aloma Crescent Public School. I, like many others, were very scared to be coming to this new place away from our parents. But I remember having fun meeting new friends and remember enjoying school.
Graduating Middle School
June of 2014 I graduated from Lougheed Middle School. This day marked the beginning of high school and I had mixed feelings during this time. I was happy to be done middle school, but at the same time I was nervous about going to high school and making new friends and leaving some of my old friends as they went to different schools.
Starting High School
September 6th 2014. This was my first day in high school, I was nervous and excited at the same time. I was excited to be starting high school and learning about different things and being able to choose what I want to learn. But I was also nervous because I would have a lot more work than I did in middle school and it might stress me out, but I had to learn to manage my time and realized it wouldn't be that stressful.
Going on a Cruise
In summer of 2013 I went on my first ever cruise. It was a 5 day cruise that went to the Bahamas. I was extremely excited to go on a cruise and since I was with some friends, it made it even more fun. The first night was a little shaky but it was smooth sailing after that (pun intended). We made one stop a day in different locations, by favorite location was when we stopped at a water park.
Going to Disney Land
The first time I went to Disney land was with my uncle, aunt, and parents in 2006. I don't remember much about that time but I do remember the second time I went in 2013, the same time as the cruise. I went with my family and 2 others families. It was a great experience and I started to remember the first time I went when I went on certain rides. Which made it a very nostalgic trip for me.

Reflection
The most accurate and helpful tests were the myBlueprint tests. Since I already knew what my interests were going into the test I was curious to see what these online tests would find out about be. I was skeptical at first and thought this cant be accurate when I looked at the questions, but as I completed all the tests and saw my career recommendations, I was surprised at the accuracy it had. Although it wasn't completely accurate based on what I wanted to become, it was close enough as they all revolved around business and computers which is what I am interested in.
In my opinion I think the least accurate test was the right or left brained test because the results were so close that the test gave me no new information. The results i got pointed towards right brained dominant by only 0.8% which is pretty much nothing. That meant that I was both creative and logical equally which i think is not very accurate. Although i think i am a creative person i do not think i am equally creative as i am logical, i believe i am more logical than creative by a little bit, but not 0.8% close.
My 4 strengths are that I am responsible, organized, a quick learner, and independent. I am responsible because I always complete homework and assignments on time and always have a schedule on when I will do certain things. This also makes me organized, i organize my day according to the work needed to be completed, also my notes for school and my desk at home is very organized so i can find something quickly when i need it. I am a quick learner because i learn the material taught in class quickly and understand the concepts being taught quicker than my peers which gives a bit of a head start. Finally, i am independent because when i am assigned work i always complete my work independently and get a lot of it done as i am not socializing during class and wasting time.
My 4 weaknesses are that i am a procrastinator, impatient, over-talkative, and lazy. I procrastinate a lot when doing my homework because i get distracted very easily by the smallest things which makes it take a lot longer to do my work. I also get very impatient when i work in a group and people take a long time to do things. I am also over-talkative because i get easily distracted by others and others easily distract me. Finally, i am also very lazy when it comes to starting work, or sometimes just waking up in the morning.
